Preferred Label : aromatase;

MeSH definition : An enzyme that catalyzes the desaturation (aromatization) of the ring A of C19 androgens and converts them to C18 estrogens. In this process, the 19-methyl is removed. This enzyme is membrane-bound, located in the endoplasmic reticulum of estrogen-producing cells of ovaries, placenta, testes, adipose, and brain tissues. Aromatase is encoded by the CYP19 gene, and functions in complex with NADPH-FERRIHEMOPROTEIN REDUCTASE in the cytochrome P-450 system.;

MeSH synonym : cyp 19; protein, cyp19; estrogen synthetase; cyp19; cytochrome p-450 cyp19; cytochrome p-450(arom); cytochrome p450 19; androstenedione aromatase; p450arom; estrogen synthase; cyp19 protein; cytochrome p 450 cyp19; aromatase, androstenedione;
